Home Instead Senior Care

About Home Instead Senior Care

A well established and highly respected independent UK home care provider, Home Instead Senior Care, operating in the Sid Valley, Budleigh Salterton and surrounding towns and villages, is part of a worldwide organisation devoted to providing the highest-quality care for older people in the comfort of their own homes. We offer a wide range of one-to-one services tailor made to the needs of the individual - and home visits can be from an hour a day up to 24 -7 care that includes weekends and holidays.

Services are flexible to the needs of each client. These can include personal care such as assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and medication; home help covering all aspects of day-to-day housework, shopping, meal preparation and household duties; and companionship services that can involve everything from escorting clients on visits or appointments to simple conversation and good company.

Providing a wide range of services across the communityMany of our at-home clients receive Home Instead Care as a result of a direct approach to us by their families, but we also have strong links with medical practices, social agencies and charities, which utilise our comprehensive services or recommend them to their clients.

Whilst our principal services involve the day-to-day care of older people in their own homes (and in care homes), we also provide a range of specialist services, which include Alzheimer's and dementia care, convalescence care - and respite care, for families who need a break from day-to-day caring duties. Our services are also applicable to those with learning and physical disabilities - and we are able to provide comprehensive, specialised home care for individuals who face these challenges. Again, we are approached directly by the families of those with special needs, plus we also work with medical and social agencies, charities and care groups.

Our Caregivers are carefully selected for their skills, experience and empathy

We provide fully insured Caregivers who are specially chosen for their empathy, understanding an ability to deliver highly professional care services to older people. To work with us, Caregivers must first provide extensive references (which are carefully checked), they are rigorously pre-screened and scrutinised – and they receive extensive training before being placed. The at-home client will be personally introduced to their selected Caregiver before our service commences – and we conduct regular quality assurance home visits to ensure that Caregivers are providing the agreed service. This provides further assurance to families that their loved ones are being looked after with thoroughness, attention to detail and absolute commitment.

At Home Instead Senior Care we are immensely proud of the work we do supporting families and older people.

We consistently achieve market leading inspection scores from the Care Qu
